Trying to express a return type in generic and an inferred parameter type
I've used got, and my initial approach to this would have been to add a beforeRequest hook to strip a leading slash. I like the idea of handling this at compile time, though my proposed solution below (particularly the error messages) aren't the prettiest.

API Client Design Across Languages - Part 2 - Making Requests
Like Python, our Node.js SDK is using a well-known library axios. While it is not quite as ubiquitous as Python's requests, it is very commonly used. For instance, it is used by Auth0 (if you're looking for a different example, Shopify makes use of Got). You can find it configured here. The shared client code takes reqeust and response transform functions for each resource to convert the repsonses to objects.

The Only Parts of Fetch API in JavaScript That Will Get You Far In Your Career

I'm new at Twilio and I'm wondering why I get an error trying to add the got dependency.
Ah, yes, my apologies. I think the cause is that the latest version of got is not compatible with anything below node v14. I do see the error that you do when I have node v12 selected in my function service, but with v14 I'm able to deploy just fine. Do you still see that error when you click "Deploy" with Node v14 and got@latest?

7 Ways to Improve Node.js Performance at Scale
At the moment, axios does not support setting a connection timeout separately from a read timeout, which could be limiting in some scenarios. If you need this functionality, you can try the got library - it allows for separate read and connection timeout specifications.

Counter-intuitive web devs mistakes
Once you start to handle all the corner-cases of the fetch, you will find that you don't want to repeat the boilerplate each time you call network, so you will write some wrapper around the fetch or use redaxios library from Jason Miller, which provides axios-like API on top of fetch so it weights only 800 bytes, which is nice. But then you might need the axios interceptors which redaxios do not implement and if your application upload files and you want to track the upload progress with ProgressEvent, the fetch does not support that, only XMLHttpRequest does, on which the original axios is based. And after you write all your custom wrappers around fetch and upload wrappers around XMLHttpRequest, you might reconcider the original statement, that axios library is obsoleted.
